With a 4-year-history, KIKIFER’S Entrepreneurial Academy (KEA) has developed new traditions that will echo in years to come. Our goal is and continues to be to educate and prepare students for entrepreneurship, the rigors of college, and life beyond high school. We are committed to wholistically educating the entire student in order to become leaders and stewards in their community.
KEA offers students a unique learning environment where academic excellence, business success, and transcending optimal levels of performance in all endeavors and undertakings is the cultural norm. Everyday at KEA is about pushing the bar higher, breaking new ground and shifting the culture forward.
With a long-term strategic focus, we will be well established to continue providing an excellent academic education with
solid comprehensive curricula for college preparation. Elements of the curriculum will include enrichment in entrepreneurship, authorship,
as well as extracurricular programs that promote teamwork, leadership, social development, and physical wellbeing.
We will prepare students with the skills necessary to meet the challenges of the 21st Century and for leadership in a global world.
